This would have been a great spot for a new tallest on Bayshore (like 30 floors) but God forbid One Bayshore gets dwarfed. I've been inside One BS and the views are just OK, not really spectacular. You either look at the TGH helicopter pad with a choppy water view or look at the same old 90's view of DT. Anyway thank God it is concrete/steel construction. As always, expect delays. For those who live close by, please give updates.

But when/if the demand is there, you have to move "something else" to another location in your building. So, you still start with lots of square footage that isn't rentable/leasable.

There should be a minimum standard. Maybe something as small as 1,000sqft of ground floor commercial for every 100,000 sqft of residential space. Say this place has 367 units which average 600sqft per unit. That would mean the developer only has to provide a scant 2,200sqft of commercial space.

Providing even this small amount won't kill the project's numbers in terms of getting it financed, but it would provide for enough commercial activity to cut down on the potential for traffic, and provide a more vibrant urban neighborhood.

I think this is shit for the gateway to downtown for the south. The people from 345 had too much influence and they were mostly renters. Another epic failure to allow this to be built on such a prime piece of realestate. While we are at it lets allow a car dealership on bay shore.

yeah it could have been better (taller) but as mentioned before, at least it will not be frame construction. It will look better than what used to be there.

I noticed a couple of portable offices on this property. Have they always been there or is this something new? I don't recall ever seeing them before. Hopefully some real construction can start before the new year.

Saw a guy operating a payloader there yesterday. That was around 4:30pm. There may have been others working earlier. Slow but at least something. Will caissons be needed for this height/location? Can't wait to see concrete and rebar laying around instead of plywood.
